there have been 14 such incidents in 38 years, but actually remembered
almost all.
How many flights do you recall?

More than 50 years before Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger saved 155
people by ditching a US Airways jetliner in the Hudson River, there
was Richard Ogg. The Pan Am pilot successfully ditched a Boeing 377
Stratocruiser in the Pacific Ocean in 1956, saving all 31 people
aboard. The heroics became the subject of a book, a movie, television
features and training videos.
